I got up at 6:30 and had a ham-on-Syrian-bread sandwich and fresh broccoli for breakfast, then drove (50 miles) down to Ski Valley in Cumberland, RI for three appointments. In between I read a big chunk of "Mr. Midshipman Hornblower", and took a couple of pictures of the view with my camera.
The wind was ridiculous all day, and each leg of my journey was fraught with dangerous car-shifting gusts.
Next it was off to Andover (75 miles), to return my training materials for the lame job I turned down. First, however, I went to the local Bertucci's for lunch to use a $15 gift card my aunt gave me awhile back. I had some of their amazing bread and olive oil, and then for the main course I enjoyed a decent plate of seafood torta. I also had a tall glass of Peroni (an Italian beer), which was surprisingly good. I finished the book while I ate. It was an enjoyable interlude in a long day of driving. Then it was off to Joule to turn in the binder and ring of cards. My direct deposit hadn't gone in, and it turns out that it's the same as retail, a one-week delay. Tracy told me she would mail my check, so I thanked her, expressed my continued desire for their assistance, and headed home (41 miles).
I spent the rest of the day reading, online looking for work, and watching the Thursday night line-up on NBC. After that horrible 100th episode of "30 Rock", I really want that hour of my life back. What a sucky show (except for Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin). Also, Will Ferrell has completely sucked the life out of the last few episodes of "The Office". What a horrible miscast! At any rate, I ended my day at midnight, reading until I fell asleep.
